WSJ posted an article today about a new concern that is popping up on twitter. Imposters!

Brendan Wilhide, who owns a sports twitter info site, has been exposing fakes for months. Some of the fake twitter accounts included Carmelo Anthony of the Denver Nuggets, Ms. Sacramone who won silver in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and Evan Longoria of the Tampa Bay Rays.

It’s just a simple thing to consider next time your looking at someone’s twitter page next time.

It seems like the last season just ended, but ABC is set for Season 9 (really?) of Dancing With The Stars to premiere.  This season’s cast includes its usual group of actors and athletes, but the biggest surprise of this year, might be adding a politician to the bunch.  Or a UFC fighter.  Here’s how the group of ’stars’ rounds out:

Aaron Carter – former Backstreet Boys performer

Natalie Coughlin – Olympic swimmer

Mark Dacascos – Chairman of Iron Chefs of America, as well as actor and martial arts specialist

Tom DeLay – former Republican Majority Leader

Macy Gray – singer whose hair is bound to get in the way of her dancing

Ashley Hamilton – son of George Hamilton who we’ll classify as a B-list actor since even ESPN dubbed him an “actress”

Kathy Ireland – Supermodel

Michael Irvin – former Dallas Cowboys receiver

Joanna Krupa – model

Melissa Joan Hart – actress

Chuck Liddel – yes, the UFC fighter

Debi Mazar – actress

Mya – singer

Kelly Osbourne – reality star, daughter of Ozzy

Donny Osmond – entertainer, brother of Marie who previously fainted on the show

Dancing With The Stars is scheduled to premier on ABC September 21.

As the formal announcement is expected shortly, the sports community is abuzz about Michael Vick’s destiny.  Should he be allowed redemption?  Has he paid his dues?  Does he deserve a second chance?  Why wouldn’t he deserve a second chance?

What’s your opinion on the matter?

As if there isn’t enough coverage on Michael Jackson, another breaking news update has emerged.

Allegedly Michael Jackson’s filmed rehearsals and behind-the-scenes footage from his proposed O2 Arena tour are going to be complied into a film titled “This Is It”, which while be in theaters around the world in October. Sony Pictures will release the film, with full consent from the Michael Jackson estate. Interestingly enough, the film is speculated to be presented in 3D and HiDef video and sound.

It has potential to be a blockbuster …or at least pay off the Jackson estate debt. We’ll see.

This week the Princeton Review released its annual rankings of the Top 10 ‘party schools’ in the US, as ranked by a survey of 122,000 co-eds at 371 colleges.  And how surprising is it that there seems to be some overlap when you also consider some of the top ranked college football teams is the nation?  Probably not surprising at all.

We compared the top party school list with the Preseason Top 25 College Football rankings by our parnter, Athlon Sports.  This is what we found.  All four of the top-ranking party schools were also ranked in the preseason Top 25 (top 14, actually) for football, and of the top 10 party schools, six also had ranked football teams.  Call it antoher testament to what we knew all along: football is life.

Whether your school is a keggers’ convention, a football powerhouse – or both, you can find tickets to football games and great events in your area at www.ticketcity.com!

So we have all been seeing those Bing “decision engine” commercials [Microsoft’s renamed/re-branded search engine] and now that its been live for a month…how did Microsoft’s reportedly $90 million campaign do? Was the “search overload” enough for people to leave Google?

Not quite, but it was enough for people to leave Yahoo. Microsoft’s slim gain was at Yahoo’s loss while Google still remains strong and stable, holding 65% of all searches.

Bing’s shiny new interface looks great with its striking backgrounds (changed daily) and its 3D mapping options but only time will tell if people will actually use it.

Check out one of their latest commercials. (because you probably fast forwarded through it the first time..the pleasures of TiVo)
